Great potential....but unreliable

Just got the Apple Watch and my Metro North app doesn’t work on it so I tried this. Told me to go to track 24 in Grand Central, which is the usual track. Good thing I looked at the departure board which showed a different train on track 24. My train had been moved to track 28 and the app never updated, not even right up to the second of departure. Had I not looked, very well have ended up in the wrong town! That is a huge flaw for this type of app and I don’t feel like I can rely on it.

Thanks so much for making this app. Works great on the watch. I hope you'll continue to support this app. I would certainly pay for it.Update: what a shame, it doesn't work anymore. Doesn't have the timetable. I guess the developers don't support it.Update 2 : worse than having nothing, it doesn't have updated holiday schedules. Today, Labor Day, it shows the regular Monday schedule. Let's you down when you need it most.
